Well, initially I really wanted to cycle to Gouda, after reading a little on the town from my Lonely Planet....BUT I cant find the website that gives you the cycling routes?! Anyone know?
So...I remembered that Mark was telling me that he cycled to Hoek van Holland, which is about 20km away from the Hague, was a pretty nice place to go according to him...hmm..I am trying to think of a word to describ the place...perhaps I can conclude that the process justifies the end. haha...because basically there is nothing at Hoek van Holland!!?? I got to a little port town near the sea, after maybe about 2hrs? Nothing much there actually...haha.....seems like a good exercise day though..
With a little disappointment, I headed back to Den Haag and spotted a different sign that points to Den Haag, in a totally different direction which I came from? Being a curious me, I naturally decided that I got to live dangerously and take this new route back home, afterall, its also just another 20km back. And, I am glad I did!! The path winded away from the main roads and after 30mins, I was cycling on a hill path! I wished I started earlier the day because then, the skies were darkening with the sunset....it was almost unbeliveable how/why there is this bike path, along the coast, winding on some low hillies, with no cars and just some people walking...with a few sheep here and there! hehe...really nice
About 12km on this hill/coast path, it felt like hardcore cycling..haha....especially with the strong winds...at this point of time, I though of Weijie! hehe...I remember we did the round islands cycling in Singapore, 2 or 3 times? (I hope you are reading this weijie..hehe)
Anyway.....check out some of the photos I took along the way,...I must find the bike route to Gouda!! Till next weekend..:)
The street which I live on
On the way - came across this windmill in the Hague! wow...seems to be a real working windmill.
Some sheeps along the way...
Plenty of greenhouses too! With 2 sheep onlooking as I took this photo.
I think sheeps are curious creatures. :)
The hilly path! Nice workout for cycling here...
A Beach nearby

Xuan, haha! of course man! the moment i see the word 'cycling', it has got to be me man! still remember those hardcore days.
Where we cycle along yio chu kang rd, thinking whether to turn into your house... but when we cycle past yr house and into the roads, i still remembered, "I guess... A decision has been made... *sucks air thru teeth* "
Hahahaha....hey thanks man for the good times..I was EXACTLY thinking about the point of decision when we were cycling along Yio Chu Kang!! Which was really why I was thinking it would be so great if you were cycling with me yesterday man....it would be perfect! We have to do it again when I am back...haha...maybe a shorter route this time..,,:)
Well, I remembered you cycled with a punctured tyre on a night cycling trip, haha..
OH YAH!! That was a down point of my life man..I think its the down point of me and zhiqiang! Damm siong man!! Nite cycling with a punctured tyre!! And I remember the final leg to Changi Village...we had to take turns to cycle from bus stop to bus stop!
Those were hard times...haha
